Back from WTF

IVF #3 is on. I feel like everything but the kitchen sink is being thrown at me, but I welcome anything that might help. Here's what I'm doing/doing differently this time:

 - While I don't have the typical symptoms of PCOS, RE said I respond to some of the treatments like a PCOS patient would. So he's putting me on Metforim (sp?). It will help if I have PCOS but won't hurt if I don't.

- I have an HSG scheduled for 12/4. I never had one because my problem seemed obvious (no ovulation) but at this point he feels he should check to make sure I don't have fluid backing up into my uterus.

- I'll have an endometrial biopsy. I had one before my first IVF and he thinks it's time to do it again.

- I'll do Lupron instead of bcps like last time, but I'll also do provera with it (I flared on the Lupron last time and he wants to prevent it)

- He'll do assisted hatching with the embryos.

- I need to relax. Um, really? I am a super high strung person and he says that all the extra anxiety I have is not helping. He suggested I see a therapist but I really don't think I can do that. He also suggested acupuncture but I told him I've been doing it and that it does NOT relax me. He then suggested yoga. Sigh.

Anyway, RE seems to think that while for IVF #1 I had too poor of a response, for IVF #2 I had to good a response. He said my E2 levels were higher than he'd like and he thinks that all the extra hormones I had flowing could have been messing with implantation. He plans to stim me slower this time and do less Follistim. He also thinks I might respond better to an FET so we're really going to try to get some embies to freeze this time. If all looks good at my first ultrasound I'll start stims on 12/26. I hope all this helps...

    Wow, that must have been some appt.  I truly hope all this brings your miracle baby(ies).

    Did he actually say you need to relax and you didn't punch him?  Maybe try to anji meditation for IVF cd's, it may help calm you down a bit.

    Wow, that sounds like he really had a lot of ideas/suggestions, which is more than I think a lot of ppls WTF appts seem to be.....

    I know the relaxation comments are annoying but relaxation techniques can't hurt, maybe there is something else you can do? simple 5 min meditation/breathing in the morning & nighttime? (I know you're rolling your eyes at the computer right now, hehehehe).
